Join Andy Needham for an in-depth discussion in this video Work with lights and shadows, part of Cinema 4D R20 Essential Training: VFX.
- [Instructor] In other courses in the R20 series, … we've looked at how lights work inside of Cinema 4D. … But to recap briefly, we need to tell lights … to cast shadows and give them fall offs … so that they behave more like real world lights. … That being said, the light cast does not bounce … and so you'd need to turn on an effect … called global illumination … to achieve a more realistic sense of lighting … at the expense of slower render times. … So before we continue, and as is common … when we have footage in our scene, … you may not be able to see this immediately, … and it might not be connected. … So come over to the texture manager … and make sure that you reconnect the footage … just by coming to edit … and then either relink or replace textures. … You can relink to the source footage … You should then get a green tick in the status … and everything should look as it does now. … So, before we continue, let's take a render of our scene … so that we have a reference point. …
